MEDFORDitlTRIBUNE Noon Edition ' Page 2 Accelerated Pace Of Economy Demands More Scientists. Corvallis-One out of every three persons working in the larger industries today in America is engaged in work on products or progams that did not even exist 10 years ago. This evidence of the accel erated pace of the American economy is the reason for the great demand for well-trained engineers and scientists, George Gleeson, dean of en gineering at Oregon State college, said. Unparalleled opportunities are ahead for graduates in the two fields, he believes, if students are willing to ade quately prepare themselves. An indication that they are is the fact that the number of master's degrees in engin eering in, the U.S. increased 16 per cent last year. Freshman Enrollments Freshman enrollments in engineering have declined during the past two years, Gleeson noted, but not be cause of lack of job opportun-ities-although that mistaken notion was held by some. Emphasis upon science dur ing the past three years has had some adverse effect upon engineering enrollments since both science and engineering tend to draw students from the same high school gradu ate group, he pointed out. It is hoped that the greater em phasis . upon science at the secondary school level now will provide a large backlog for both science and engin eering, according to Gleeson. As evidence that demand for engineers still is far ahead of the supply, the OSC dean points to recruitment figures of 220 major companies last June. The companies had wanted to hire more than 11, 700 technical persons, but wound up with only 9,415 or 80 per cent of their require ments. ; i:; ' The! Same "220 j companies i report that they will need about i,200 more trained workers this year than a year ago-a 10 per cent increase in one year. Average starting salaries continue to rise but at a slow er rate than before. Starting salaries for bachelor degee engineering graduates this year averaged $490 per month; $554 for master's de gree graduates; and $747 for doctor's degrees. Lead Offerings Aircraft and aircraft parts industries lead all others in salary offerings. Planned visitations to col leges for recruitment are in creasing this year, Gleeson reported. "Quality of applicants is more important than quantity and companies will not take persons who do not measure up to their requirements," Gleeson 'said in emphasizing the high standards of work expected of students. National . reports indicate that the high school scholas tic records of freshmen who entered engineering classes last year were higher than usual. This seems likely to mean that the per cent of freshmen who finally gradu ate in engineering will in crease thereby offsetting the reduced enrollments , of the past two years. . OSC has 1,581 engineering students this year, including 462 freshmen. Last year's and this fall's enrollment figures are down from 1957- 58, but Gleeson expects an upswing in enrollments be ginning next fall. Engineer ing has long been the largest school at OSC. ' THE ENEMY CAMP Roanoke, Va.-(UPD-The Ho tel Roanoke will be host next month to the Roanoke Valley Motel association. KV Why feed'em .1 when you don't need ' It isn't good horse sense and it isn't good truck sense, either, to pay for 150 to 200 horsepower to deliver normal light loads! Volkswagen Trucks need less horse power because they have less dead weight. Their rugged, unitized steel bodies are braced and balanced like the fuselage of a plane. Their rear mounted air-cooled engines are all muscle no fat. i . j That's why they can climb 25 grades fully loaded and still get up o 24 miles to the gallon. They do twice the job of usual trucks, and at half the cost. The Volkswagen Panel Delivery shown here carries 1,830 lbs. in 170 cu. ft. And it costs only $2172 Come in, let us show you how a VW Panel Delivery can do a better job at less cost on your job! 0 Volkswagen Trucks MORSE MOTORS Sixth at Ivy AUTHORIZED KALES -Volkswagen Headquarters in Medford Suicide Note Found in Wallet; Said Despondent New York 0.TD The body of Povl Bang-Jensen," Danish diplomat who was fired from his United Nations job for re fusing to name key figures in the 1956 Hungarian anti-Com-Tnunist revolt, was found to day in a park in Queens Borough.

Agreed To Destroy List Bang-Jensen lost his U.N. job when he refused to turn over to Secretary-general Dag Hammarskjold a master list of participants in the 1956 Hun garian revolt against the Com munist government.

Singleton said the situation particularly was rampant in Portland, Eugene, Salem and Pendleton. Hawaiian Volcano Spouting Again Volcano, Hawaii -(LTD- Ha waii's Kilauea Iki volcano fountain came to life again early today, sluggishly erupt ing lava as high as 50 feet into the air.

(Basic Question off Union integrity Seen in Strike Portland-fliPD-Publishers -of ing the walkout as sympathiz- the Oregon Journal and The Oregonian said Wednesday the "major problem" of the 15-day Stereotypers' strike against the newspapers had now become the "basic ques tion of union integrity and the sanctity of contracts." The publishers, who have joined in a combined news paper since the walkout .of the Stereotypers and other croft unions Nov. 10, said in a page one statement that the unions had violated their con tracts in striking or in join ers. It added: "... Back at the bargain ing table, the negotiators will try to -unscramble the omelet of old issues and new prob lems raised by the strike it self. With all the broken con tracts lying around, the ques tion will arise how any agree ment can be signed with these unions and'. be worth the pa per it is written on. In fact, this basic question of union integrity and the sanctity of contracts now becomes the major problem a problem which goes to the very found ation of the collective bargain ing relationship. "In the stereotypers strike and the walkout of the un ions, Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall. It remains to be seen whether Humpty-Dumpty can be put back together again." ' Stereotypers headquarters here indicated no cqmment on the publishers statement would be immediately forthcoming.
